Hi all,
My motorhome is stranded in a parking lot after someone stole my catalytic converter.
looking for a portable battery charger because I have no access to electricity. Battery is for coach & is a deep cycle marine.
Need approx 10 amps 12volt.
Well a couple of you at least see through the weirdness of the OPs post. Others, 100% gullible. Re-read the original post.
and now if you still don’t understand that it’s bs, consider that the OP never came back to contribute. Maybe that will be enough of a clue.
wise up folks!
Bummer was hoping to hear more from the OP…. His first post was so fun
Our RV has an emergency switch that allows one to start the engine using the house batteries.
lol, what a weird way to spam post. Or just a tweaker. My guess is the latter. No, wait. Not tweaker. Unless you stole your own car converter! Hahaha
Did you wake up with metal shavings in your hair? Asking for a friend.
Thanks for the laughs
I am not following the correlation between the missing catalytic converter and lack of electricity. While it is true that the MH's engine might help to recharge the batteries, you likely have a generator. You didn't say what kind of MH you have so some of this is a guess. And as Valhalla said, can't you just limp along to a CG and plug in? get a jumpstart to start your genset etc? Get by until a shop can install a new Cat?
If you have no access to electricity, a battery charger is of no use.
Why can't you drive the rv? It will be noisy and you may get a warning light but it should run well enough to get to a nearby rv park.
If you really are stuck with no electricity, getting a solar system or a portable generator are really the only options.
For your situation, a portable battery charger with at least 10 amps and 12 volts that works for deep-cycle marine batteries would be ideal.
NOCO Genius10 Smart Charger: This charger can handle 12V deep-cycle batteries and has a 10-amp capacity. It’s portable and can charge multiple types of batteries, including marine. The NOCO Genius line is known for being robust and easy to use, even in outdoor conditions.
Schumacher SC1281 6/12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Engine Starter: This charger delivers 10 amps for battery maintenance and works well for deep-cycle marine batteries. It’s portable and offers additional engine-starting assistance if needed.
Battery Tender Plus 12V 1.25A: Though it only delivers 1.25 amps, it’s lightweight, compact, and ideal for slower charging while you wait for a more permanent solution. It is compatible with deep-cycle batteries, but it might take longer to charge. snow rider
Portable Solar Charger: If you have no access to power and expect to be stranded for a while, consider a solar panel charger like the Renogy 100W Solar Panel Kit, paired with a charge controller. These are more suited for off-grid situations like a motorhome.
